I can relate, Hathaway doesn't do much for me either.

are skinny . Of course there's a lot of wiggle room for taste, and my taste, unfortunately, often leads to high maintenance. On the other, other hand, a meaningful relationship is high maintenance as well.

I, further, can't believe I'm having this conversation about Anne Hathaway.

I'll take the girl next door. Emma Stone, 5' 6", 115#, naturally blond, btw, but it don't matter, red in The Help & Easy A, and Brunette in Zombieland.

Firstly, I doubt she is even 125-130 pounds. Secondly, 125-130 pounds 5' 8" is very much anorexic. The fact that you consider that a normal weight for a girl that tall is disturbing, and shows how effective media propaganda is. You know what women weigh 125 pounds despite being so tall? Supermodels, who are supposed to have "no ass and no breasts" (to quote a former one) and be downright skeletal.

Women naturally have a much higher fat percentage than men, and a normal weight range for 5'8" is 150-180 pounds.

Showing me some pictures of girls who are even more anorexic than that doesn't change that Hathaway is unnaturally skinny, to a borderline unhealthy degree.

That's like trying to prove someone who flunked out of high school isn't an idiot, because hey, there are people who drop out of junior high...

Indeed I do, and for a number of reasons beyond the purely aesthetic ones. Skinnier girls tend to tire more easy and get sore more often and severely. In addition to that, while certain positions are a bit better, many are far worse courtesy of their small asses and bony limbs.

And of course, I'm into girls with large butts. Easily my favorite female body part. Probably explains why my girlfriend is a tall, curvy black woman...

I rest my case. 130 lbs., anorexic? You gotta be kidding me.

Looking at the those photos, it' s funny how average looking most actresses actually are when you think about it, in stark contrast to their always featuring at the top of bullshit 100 sexiest women in the worldlists etc .

Even the top A list ones that are supposed to be walking goddeses such as Johanssen and Jolie are only barely above average viewed after a bottle of make up remover, while many are barely average. I expect that back in the day actresses possessed a lot more natural beauty than they have the past couple of decades. Still, the myth is worth billions to the industry.

http://www.calculator.net/ideal-weight-calculator.html?
these formulas all put the ideal weight for a 5.8 woman at about 140 pounds. so while 125 would be a bit on the skinny side, although not unhealthily so, 135 is a pretty good weight according to the docs. most would say that as a 5.8 woman, as long as you're between 125 and 155 you're a perfectly healthy weight.

You can probably count on the fingers of one hand the number of women you see without makeup on a given day, particularly eye makeup. Being a purist is like someone who only want's acoustic music or b&w talkies. And women who could afford it have been using makeup since prehistoric times--because it works. If it didn't, they wouldn't. It's amazing how similar women's faces, in the West anyway, look like their counterparts from ancient Egypt. And makeup is only part of it. There's figure, hair, personality, intelligence and talent.

And speaking of Johansson:

From February. And speaking of personality, Jeremy Renner said she was a bitch to work with (paraphrase). Just hearing about it turns me off a lot more than too much makup.

For a 5'8" woman? It certainly could be, especially since Hathaway apparently slimmed down from her natural weight of 150 pounds (already quite skinny) to 125-130 pounds.



Do I really have to explain why some random web link called the "Ideal Weight Calculator" is bullshit and has nothing to do with medical reality? To be fair though, I should have qualified my last statement; 5'8", 125-130 pounds is unhealthy and bone-thin on a Caucasian girl. It's not quite as bad on an Asian girl, as they tend to be thinner.

What are those photos supposed to show? That she has a hot, attractive body? If so, then yes, she does.
